munaiyaduvAr nAyanAr

In the Kaveri flowing chOza kingdom is the town by name thirun^IdUr which is surrounded with the fields that smell the odor of mud made paste in honey that flows in the canals from the blooming flowers in that area. Came in the tradition of farming, devoted his heart and soul to the Lord who ripped the elephant apart, valourous and service mottoed. The blotless valor brought him wealth which worked at his place to feed the needs of the devotees of the pashupati.

His untainted valor brought the defeated to take refuge in him. They assured him lots of wealth and request him to fight for them. Gauging the validity of them, he would go to fight the enemies like a titanic storm and return victorious with the gold and goods showered to him for it. For somebody else they could have got accumulated to go waste finally without giving added happiness but worries. But the n^AyanAr's intention was to serve. There would be the feasts going on without any break for the people who have the dancing Lord in their tongue. The gold and silver melted to greet the devotees with sandal and milk. The rice soaked in curd, ghee, vegetables, soup and his love exhausted the hunger from those who entered his house. His ripe devotion treated them with the sweet fruits with his mind enjoying in the fruit - Lord shiva. Like the drops of water coming to quench the earth that proceeds without any pause in between his service for the devotees continued till he reached the abode of the Absolute. Let the devotion of munaiyaduvAr n^AyanAr who dedicated all the wealth of his victories for the service of the Always Victorious Lord's devotees stay in the mind.
